Objective: To evaluate the anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant activity of andrographolide (AND) and echiodinin (ECH) of Andrographis paniculata.Methods: In this study, an attempt has been made to demonstrate the anti-microbial and antioxidant activity of isolated AND and ECH by broth micro-dilution method and 2,2-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay, respectively. Structure elucidation was determined by electro-spray ionization-MSD, NMR (H-1 and C-13) and IR spectra.Results: AND was effective against most of the strains tested including Mycobacterium smegmatis, showing broad spectrum of growth inhibition activity with Minimum inhibitory concentration values against Staphylococcus aureus (100 mu g/mL), Streptococcus thermophilus (350 mu g/mL) Bacillus subtilis (100 mu g/mL), Escherichia coli (50 mu g/mL), Mycobacterium smegmatis (200 mu g/mL), Klebsiella pneumonia (100 mu g/mL), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (200 mu g/mL). ECH showed specific anti-bacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at a concentration higher than 225 mu g/mL. Both AND and ECH were not effective against the two yeast strains, Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cereal-sine tested in this study.Conclusion: This preliminary study showed promising anti-bacterial activity and moderate free radical scavenging activity of AND and ECH, and it may provide the scientific rationale for its popular folklore medicines.
